CLASS WILL Hear Yet We the class of 1947 having accomplished many things in the face of collosal handicaps, being of sound body and mind, having absolute control of our senses, and not acting under the influence of Mr. E. J. Albrecht or intoxicating liquor, do hereby make and publish our last will and testament. To the faculty: We bequeath the unhappy prospect of manag- ing this school without the Honorable Seniors' assistance. To the Juniors: We bequeath to you our wisdom and intellec- tual knowledge of the world and hope that they will profit by this knowledge. We also give them the duty of putting out the school paper very faithfully every fourth week. And we were never late. To the Sophomores: We bequeath the endurance, ability and patience it takes to become seniors. To the Freshmen: We will leave our happy riatures and kind- heartedness so they won't be so hard on the Freshies next year. We, the Seniors, bequeath the following things to the remaining miserable students and hope they will follow our straight and narrow ways. Virginia: Wills her dummy-pages to the next unfortunate person who becomes editor and hopes they have as much trouble as she did. Helen: Wills her flirting ability with the boys to Doris, who we all know doesn't exactly need it. Lorraine: Leaves her knowledge of the saxaphone and violin to Joseph Clawson, who could profit by It. Dick: Bequeaths his broad shoulders and winning smile to Alex, hoping that he will make good use of them. He also wills his ability to insult people to anyone who can back his insult. Since Ruthie Hager requested that some Senior will their good figure to her-Clara has been chosen and she warns Ruthie not to eat candy, as she, Clara, has done every noon. Veta: Wills all her used gum to Lucille Nichols, which she will be able to find under a desk in every class room. Ralph: Leaves his renowned ability of making cars to any under classman, who may want the Job. Ramona: Wills her blue Monday mornings to Evagene knowing that If she has many more she won't live to be a senior. Minnie-Ellen: Wills her ability to make the class be silent when she is talking, to Mr. Grieger. Lydia: Wills her trips South of the Border to Donna Kennedy, who doesn't need any more.
